Can iPhone 4 Be Updated to iOS 11?
Contents

No. Your iPhone 4S is too old and cannot be upgraded past iOS 9.3. 5. The hardware is not powerful enough to handle running newer iOS versions.

Can an iPhone 4 Be Updated?

With the launch of iOS 8 in 2014, the iPhone 4 no longer supported the iOS latest updates. Most of the apps out there today are tailored to iOS 8 and above, which means that this model will start experiencing some hiccups and crashes while using more intensive applications.

How can I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 11 without a computer?

If you are on a Wi-Fi network, you can upgrade to iOS 11 right from your device itself — no need for a computer or iTunes. Just connect your device to its charger and go to Settings > General > Software Update. iOS will automatically check for an update, then prompt you to download and install iOS 11.
